Come on, it implies "их" : Я [их] съем. It's valid only because you stated what you will eat in the previous sentence.
Well. You said "съем" needs an object. I gave you the example without it. It doesn't matter whether it's implied or not. The verb could be used without an object in some context. If you look carefully at my post, you'll see that I said "It depends on context".

Just "I will eat" without any context is not equal to "Я съем".
Without any context you can't give a proper translation.

And, btw, "Я доем" would be more appropriate in your example. :)
Don't mix them up "я доем торт" and "я съем последние 2 куска". Remember? The question was about 2 pieces.
